Chapter 673: Refusal to Participate

Since the beginning of this school year, it has been a little bit of time. This year's freshmen are also slowly integrating into the entire campus, gradually adapting to the fresh life of absorbing magical knowledge.

As they get used to the pace of learning day by day, many potential young wizards naturally begin to emerge gradually, showing some remarkable traits and abilities.

Like Alexander Wolf of Gryffindor House, his progress is evident. In several classes, he not only demonstrated several proficient applications of first-year spells, but today he even used the Oblivion Charm, which only second-year spells can be added to the curriculum, and solved the mystery of Boggart's ontology on the spot.

Another example is Hufflepuff's Ens Taon, whose first outstanding performance actually came before Alexander. When he used the levitation charm in a Charms class to the point that even Professor Flitwick praised him, his name was remembered by many students.

Of course, I don't know what's going on lately, but many badgers have found that Ens always likes to run to the library these days, and he still reads the ancient runi dictionary that only students from the third grade and above will look through.

As for the progress in the area of spells, it didn't seem obvious - maybe it was because he didn't take the initiative?

It's just that, in addition to these two little wizards who have shown their talents in practical application, there is also a student who cannot be ignored.

That is the little witch of Ravenclaw College who is fresh and lovely in appearance and has a ladylike demeanor, and her name is Sarah Hohenheim.

Before the first class test, the only reason for her students to remember her was her appearance and personality; But after that test, her excellence immediately startled many classmates who treated her as a vase.

Yes, although she did not show her talent and talent in a hands-on way, like Ens and Alexander. But the test results she obtained were even slightly inferior to Hermione Granger, who was given the title of "Miss Know-it-all" by Snape back then.

If I had to compare, I am afraid that only Professor McGonagall, who was still a student at the time, could stabilize her with the advantage of "the highest score in the whole subject".

However, Maca called her to the office at noon today to talk, not for her good grades. The first year curriculum is very simple, and the specific development depends on the future...... Even for truly outstanding wizards, the content of the school is only a starting point, and graduation will be the beginning of their life.

"Miss Hohenheim," looking at Sarah who appeared outside the door, Maca smiled and gestured to her, "Please! I think you know why I called you...... Anyway, let's sit down first! ”

Since the beginning of the school year, this is not the first time he has called Sarah over, and because of this, he simply omitted polite words.

"Okay."

Seeing that Maca was casually invited, Sarah nodded slightly.

Since she entered Hogwarts, her personality has been quite different from before, and Maca has certainly noticed this a long time ago.

In fact, compared to Sarah's rejection of him before, the girl is obviously much easier to communicate with. But if it were to be left to Maca's own choice, he would actually prefer to face the original Sarah Hohenheim.

This is not because Maca is a masochist who likes to be ravaged with disgust by the little girl...... Well, probably not, right? This is only because, now Sarah obviously takes that sense of distance to heart and is no longer superficial.

"Sit down!" After Maka waited for her to sit down, she casually said, "Would you like something to drink?" ”

"Thanks, but don't ......"

Sarah immediately shook her head, with a smile on her face, but this smile seemed a bit fake to Maca, who was experienced in acting.

"Professor McLean, I can understand what you're saying, after all, I'm a member of Hogwarts now. It's just that...... I didn't want to participate in that competition, I just wanted to learn magic in school. ”

"But alchemy can actually be considered a part of magic...... "Maca shrugged her shoulders and persuaded, "Your alchemy is so good, if you can go to this world-class event and meet other excellent alchemists, I think it will definitely be a good gain for you!" ”

That's right! To put it bluntly, Maca wanted to persuade Sarah to participate in the upcoming International Alchemy Competition, after all, her spiritual refining Maca had experienced it firsthand.

If he could get a good place in the competition, he wouldn't even need Sarah to win the championship - as long as he could bring a piece of honor to Hogwarts, it would lay a stronger foundation for the school's future development.

And by the way, he can also learn more about this genius girl who always seems to be hiding something alone through the competition process.

But after listening to Maca's persuasion, Sarah still stubbornly shook her head.

"I'm sorry, Professor McLean." "I still don't want to compete...... I'm sorry. ”

I was expecting her to change her psychology after a period of time! But since she also rejected her proposal very firmly this time, Maca had no choice but to admit it.

"Okay!" Maka nodded a little helplessly, "I understand, if you don't want to do it anyway, I won't force you...... Oh yes! I did very well in the previous class tests, and the other professors spoke highly of you! Since you don't want to participate in the alchemy competition, then continue to work hard in school! ”

Speaking of this, he changed his tone again and reminded instead:

"However, there are times when it is time to relax and relax...... I've heard that you don't have a lot of time to rest! ”

"I'll take notice." Sarah quickly replied, "So...... Professor McLean, can I go back to the common room? ”

"Oh, of course......," said Marka, who was about to get up to see her off, but after a second thought, she paused again, "Ah, Miss Hohenheimβ€”"

Sarah, who had already gotten up to leave, heard it and stopped her movements slightly.

"Anything else?"

"That's right......" Maca waved her hand, "it's not a big deal, I just have a small question...... I wonder if you can tell me why you don't want to go to the competition? ”

For this "little problem" of Maca, Sarah's face, which always had a quiet smile, finally showed a little hesitation.

Although, she quickly put away her hesitation, but Maca still caught it keenly in the end.

"Well, if you don't want to answer, that's fine-" "Actually-"

Maca was about to take a step back to make herself look less pressing, but Sarah answered in surprise this time.

"Actually," she said with an inexplicable hint, "it would be unfair to the other contestants if I went to that tournament, and it would be ...... It doesn't make any sense either. ”

"No point?" Maca immediately repeated it as a follow-up question.

"Yes," she said, "...... That's for me, for others, and for the whole game...... None of this makes any sense. ”

Sarah's explanation was not so much an explanation as it was a re-emphasis on the answer she had just given. This would confuse Maca, but Sarah didn't seem to want to continue the discussion.

"Professor McLean, I'll go back first."

After leaving these words, she did not forget to bow politely, and then went around to the door, opened the door and walked away slowly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Geniuses like to talk halfway, and let others guess the rest? ”

At the beginning, Maca once mentioned that neither he nor Hermione were so-called "geniuses". But this young lady of the Hohenheim family is indeed worthy of the word "genius".

Of course, talent is not everything, and hard work and luck are also extremely important factors. If a genius does not know how to work hard, he may also be surpassed by those with mediocre qualifications who climb on the shoulders of giants.

So Maca doesn't envy Sarah's talent, what he wants to know is actually the process by which Sarah acquired this talent. If she had agreed to participate in the Alchemy Contest, perhaps Maca would have seen something from her performance.

"Mysterious little girl......

Maca thought for a moment, but eventually shook her head with a chuckle.

Everyone has a bit of a secret, and no matter what Sarah is hiding, at least he doesn't perceive malice in the other person. That being the case, then when she wants to say it, he will touch and understand!

With that in mind, Maca got up from her small stool and stretched, then staggered to her desk.

Since he had been very busy during this time, he had to squeeze in time to do research on magic. No, now that he's talking to Sarah, it's time for him to hurry up and mess with his own affairs.

However, contrary to Markana's dedication to Hogwarts, there is one student who is just as busy day and night, but he is doing it entirely for himself.

It's still the lunch break, and everyone is chatting or taking a nap in the common room. But Young Master Malfoy, who had also just had lunch, sat alone in the empty bedroom, reading silently in front of a notebook.

He was the one who had been tricked by Ens in the corridor at night, and he was right. But to say that he should not have been named and admonished by Professor McGonagall in front of the whole school, this can only be said to be a matter of course.

Although Filch took him out of anger because of his annoyance, Professor McGonagall punished him accordingly. But in fact, the severe punishment imposed on him was not excessive.

Because, that night, he secretly ran to the forbidden area of the library.
